>> last  moment. I knew Sam from many years back; I always went to him  
>> when I  wanted to hire "a good botanist" as an undergraduate summer  
>> assistant  and was never dissapointed. I will miss his wonderful  
>> joie de vivre.  There will be a memorial service at the Acadia  
>> University Chapel at  1:30 p.m. Thursday, January 27, 2011.
